How Spinal Adjustments Can Improve Overall Wellness

Spinal Adjustment Napa, CA

A spinal adjustment, also known as a chiropractic adjustment, is a non-invasive treatment that can prevent and address various issues affecting different systems in the body. It involves chiropractors using their hands, elbows, knees, or equipment to align the spine properly. Many people choose spinal adjustments as standalone treatments, while others use them to complement more traditional medical interventions. With this treatment being non-invasive, most people seeking it are considered candidates. Discover seven reasons why you should schedule a spinal adjustment today.

7 Benefits of Spinal Adjustments

1. Alleviates pain

Spinal adjustments are renowned for their ability to alleviate pain, offering a sense of relief and comfort to the body, particularly in the neck, back, and hips. Whether the pain stems from trauma, improper sleeping positions, or general muscle and joint wear and tear, spinal adjustments can provide the body with much-needed rest. They are equally effective in managing chronic pain conditions like osteoarthritis and short-term pain conditions such as whiplash.

2. Better sleep

Adjusting the vertebrae, the bones comprising the spine, reduces excess tension along the pathways of nerve signals traveling from the brain to the body. This reduction allows for better communication between the two, helping the muscles, joints, and ligaments to relax, effectively reducing stress, and helping the brain relax, putting the individual to sleep.

3. Improved balance

When the spine is misaligned, a patient's balance can be off. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, faulty balance can make it difficult to have the correct posture, walk in a straight line, have vision clarity, cause vertigo (dizziness), and stand up without the feeling of falling.

4. Improve digestive system

Spinal adjustments cannot replace a healthy, balanced diet. However, they can help relieve stomach pain stemming from the digestive system. The spine has a major connection to each of the body's systems, including the digestive system. When the spine is misaligned, more pressure is added to the digestive system, and the blood flow becomes restricted, resulting in pain and discomfort.

5. Increased blood flow to the brain

When the spine is misaligned, pressure is increased on the nerves. This pressure can significantly hinder blood flow to various points in the body, including the brain. According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, slowed or blocked blood flow can result in the brain's cells starving due to insufficient nutrients. A spinal adjustment seeks to realign the entire vertebrae, effectively alleviating excess pressure.

6. Increased range of motion

When the spine is not in its proper position, the range of motion in the limbs, neck, and back becomes limited. Depending on the level of misalignment, it can cause pain or discomfort. When patients move throughout their day, trying to push past their discomfort, they are at risk of permanently damaging their spines by causing fractures. Spinal adjustments, along with proper movement instructions, help eliminate this threat.

7. Stabilize slipped discs

A herniated or slipped disc is a painful condition caused by the jelly-like substance between each vertebrae moving out of place. A spinal adjustment can reverse pressure, allowing the disc to move back into position and alleviating pain.
